MTL - The Growth of the Richest Man-Chapter 168 Apple Worldwide Developers Conference
In fact, Zhang Yong didn't really want to shoot the movie "Teddy Bear" now. Although the box office of this film is good, it is not very famous. Zhang Yong has many better films for him to choose from.
However, since the male lead of this film has already begged Zhang Yong to participate in this film, it might not make sense if the filming continues. Moreover, it also used a mysterious and mysterious explanation of "Wukong came to learn Taoism in the middle of the night". A foreigner who still knows this kind of allusion is already very good, so let’s make this movie first, so that Mark Wahlberg can be famous, and also as a kind of Mark Wahlberg’s Chinese friends Reward it.
In the second episode of "Journey to the West", Patriarch Bodhi knocked Sun Wukong three times on the head, and Sun Wukong immediately knew that the master wanted to preach in the middle of the night. Epiphany is a method of Zen Buddhism, which is something that practitioners are very concerned about. However, in fact, Patriarch Bodhi knocked Sun Wukong on the head three times, and he didn't necessarily imply anything about Sun Wukong, but Sun Wukong really came up with such a fallacy. He went there at night and told the master in a grand manner. How could the master say me? It doesn't make sense, you're over-interpreting it? That old ancestor Bodhi was stunned, so he had to admit it in a confused way. In the original text, Wukong knelt for a while before asking Wukong why he came, and did not wait for Wukong.
Therefore, I directly accepted this kind of excessive interpretation of others. Perhaps, the ancestor of Bodhi, like Zhang Yong, did not mean this at first, but was moved by the sincerity of Sun Wukong.
When they arrived in San Francisco, Zhang Yong and Xu Lili got on the vehicle sent by Uber and went to visit Uber. This company is small in size, but in fact, Internet companies developed in Silicon Valley often do not need a large area, as long as a reasonable office space is sufficient, which can be a rented office building or a directly rented resident. They go to work in the building, anyway, as long as they can put down a few tables, put a server, and then sit down for a few technicians and provide the necessary environment, it is completely fine.
Uber, a bright leased office building, is already a very good start-up.
Zhang Yong familiarized himself with Travis Kalanick at Uber, and the process of the investment signing press conference to be held the next day. Basically, there is nothing particularly difficult. Things, write down, you can have a good rest.
At the press conference, it was basically completed according to the procedure, but a reporter provocatively asked Zhang Yong if he intended to enter the US Internet market. Zhang Yong thought about it, and it is still not suitable to enter now, and his current strength is not enough. However, if the answer is not to enter, it may be a little troublesome when entering in the future, so Zhang Yong just said perfunctorily, at present his focus is on investment in Hollywood movies, and there is no other comment.
No comment, sometimes the best answer.

On June 8, 2009, the Apple Worldwide Developers Conference was held in Moscone West, San Francisco. Zhang Yong, Xu Lili, and Travis Kalanick were also invited here. This time the conference, the main content includes the release of the iPhoneOS3.0 provided by the developers, the display, and the new iPhone3GS and so on.
Originally, the Apple Worldwide Developers Conference was planned to be led by Philip Schuler, Apple's vice president of product marketing, instead of the consistent publisher over the years, Apple CEO Steve Jobs, because Jobs had already Half a year ago, he had temporarily left his job due to illness. But this time, in addition to Zhang Yong attending the Apple Worldwide Developers Conference, even Buffett, who should not have appeared, also came to this developer conference. According to Zhang Yong's opinion, now that the market has turned into a bull market again, this professional investor will naturally find opportunities to see where he can make a lot of money. And Apple, this has entered their line of sight.
Therefore, the level of this press conference has been greatly improved. Even though Jobs has been in New York for a long time for medical treatment and has not flown back to San Francisco for a long time, he still dragged the sick body and flew when encountering such a big event. I came back to host this conference in person.
Jobs was already in poor health. This time, he was obviously affected by the travel and his face was even worse. However, seeing so many people who supported him, his eyes were very bright. He still looks relaxed in his traditional grey slacks and jeans. Jobs is worthy of being a master of speeches. Under his speech, all the people present forgot that they were participating in a commercial product launch, but thought they were participating in the launch of some exquisite artwork. This kind of speech atmosphere, people who have not arrived at the scene, can't understand it at all. A month ago, Zhang Yong also hosted the press conference of the Hammer 3 mobile phone~www.novelbuddy.com~ Although he felt that his press conference was much better than the previous press conference held by Lao Luo of Hammer 1 and Hammer 2, But Zhang Yong can clearly feel how big the gap is between his press conference and the genuine Jobs press conference.
The speech technology of the conference can be learned, and even the lines can be directly copied. However, as the original founder of Apple and the developer who personally presided over the development of Apple's system, Jobs' feelings for Apple and his understanding of Apple cannot be copied by anyone. Fortunately, Jobs's birthday is not much, otherwise Zhang Yong would not have much chance of winning in the competition with Apple led by Jobs.
Buffett's investment logic is to be optimistic about a company's management, then buy that company's stock, and then hold it for a long time. Buffett usually does not interfere with the day-to-day operations of the companies he buys through his equity holdings, and even actively supports the company's management through his own equity. However, Buffett looked at this Jobs with a gloomy expression on his face. Should he invest in Apple? Let's wait, Jobs looks worse than last week. It seems that we should observe the ability of Jobs' successor to lead the company in the future before deciding. Buffett waits for a few years.
Although he didn't wait for the investor's substantial investment, Jobs felt a little uncomfortable, but there was good news. For example, the richest man in China decided to release the world's first report on Apple's IOS system within a week. A mobile taxi app. Jobs can understand the value of this idea, but he has been focusing on Apple for so many years, and he has no idea and body to support him to grab this business.
